Gradwell named amongst region’s best

Gradwell is celebrating after being recognised as a leading business in the Bath area, achieving two prestigious accolades in one night.

The Internet services provider was amongst the local organisations recognised by the Bath Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) at its 2009 awards ceremony.

Gradwell was highly commended in the Most Innovative Company category, while Managing Director Peter Gradwell was named Young Entrepreneur of the Year.

The awards, judged by some of Bath’s most distinguished business experts, are held to honour the accomplishments and achievements of the region’s best small companies and business people.

Peter, who established the company while at university, said: “Although we have customers across the UK, it is very important to be recognised within the local business community. Gradwell is built from local people and their hard work and commitment is a major factor in our success.

“Being named Young Entrepreneur of the Year is a reflection of how much my role in the company has changed, from answering the phones, to developing my skills as a Managing Director. I’m delighted to watch Gradwell progress, responding to small businesses’ needs by developing innovative products, all while creating jobs and economic growth in Bath.“
